Story:

There are several students at school who are F-I-N-E.  The sun rises and sets by the intensity of their smiles. You look at these people, then look at yourself and wonder why you don’t command that much attention.  Maybe attention is the wrong word.  You are not the type of person who people go out of their way to get to know. What is it about some people that makes the world stop to let them get on board, while for other people, the world will roll right by as if they don’t exist?  The ordinary people have to take a running start to jump onto the world if they want to participate.  Is being “ordinary” a state of mind or a matter of physical appearance? People don’t have a problem throwing fat jokes my way.  They love to remind me about my big lips, thick thighs, protruding teeth, and big head.  They call me Big Head, Frog Legs, Big Foot, Big Mack, Thunder Thighs, and more.  I can get mad because they don’t call me F-I-N-E.  The behavior of others will never stop me from being the best me I can be. Call me what you want.  I will call myself W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L.

Only labels that reflect the attributes of God are acceptable in my space.  My space is precious.  My space is comfortable.  My space includes the best person I know.  My space includes me.
